The one described here http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0345/ in Metadata 1.2
'Requires-Python'
So it can't be used by people at this time, that was a mistake.
the new version of [8] could be:
8/ you don't know when it is a source distribution, if it is going to
run on various python versions.
PEP 345 defines it, but it is not yet implemented in distutils,
either in setuptools.
and in the proposal parts:
0/ ... + implement the metadata 1.2 from PEP 345, (besides the
"requires" metadata)
